Creston is a town of 5,306 people in the Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. The town is located approximately 10 kilometers north of the Porthill, Idaho border crossing into the United States. One hour drive southwest, you will arrive in Cranbrook and then further on to the Fernie area. Due to its proximity to the U.S. border, many businesses in the town accept American currency. Creston is the eastern city of the Salmo-Creston highway constructed in the 1960s as a shortcut to avoid the long route north to Nelson and crossing Kootenay Lake by ferry between Balfour and Kootenay Bay. The Salmo-Creston highway, now Crowsnest Highway, connected with earlier highways eastward of Creston.
The Creston Valley's economy is largely resource-based with agriculture and forestry. Many are employed in the service sector, and tourism is increasingly prominent, while government services and education comprise a large portion of the labour force. Since 1959, Kokanee Beer has been brewed in Creston at the Columbia Brewery. The town is also home to two grain elevators. Many apple, and cherry orchards grow in Erickson, an unincorporated area outside Creston, and the valley is also an important dairy centre. The Creston Area produces the latest cherries grown in the Northern hemisphere and ships their fruit all over the world. A primary market is Europe while Asia is second. A number of growers sell the same product they export to Europe at their road side markets. The Skimmerhorn Winery is now producing award-winning wines, and the valley shows great promise as a wine region, with other growers cultivating vines.
Recreation abounds in the Creston Valley with the Selkirk & Purcell Mountain ranges surrounding the valley. Camping, boating, hiking, skiing, golfing are just a few of the many favourite activities that people enjoy in the area. Because of the natural beauty and pristine waters of Kootenay Lake, people from all over the world flock to the area. Locally, there is a great school system in place along with the amenities such as shopping, convenience stores, coffee shops, business, banking, and other needs people require for everyday living. The area is quiet but active during all the seasons and a wonderful place to call home
